rose vines are as lovely when they wrap tight over your limbs and shatter your bones
Aurelia can sense something a little less than pride, like her own, at the declaration of being from the Grounds. Her head inclines with a curious furrow but she doesn't know how to address it, or if she should.
She shakes her head almost immediately. "Nonono," she lets out a soft, relieved scoff, "it's fine. Sometimes there's no time for that sort of thing, right? I think it might've eaten me if you hadn't shown up. I've just... never seen someone do that before." Her gaze follows Wessex's down to the... remains of the tiger once more.
With a heaved breath, she finally lets herself more fully relax. Not that she thinks they're completely out of the woods jungle yet, though. After all, they're still in the Oerwoud. "I'm fine, I think," she does make sure to check herself for injuries, where she'll find a few cuts and scrapes from hungry claws that bleed through her cloak, but thankfully nothing debilitating. Promptly, she winces, as if suddenly becoming aware of the injuries.
"Should probably head back to town and get bandaged up, though," she laughs humorlessly.
"Would you mind uh... coming with me?" her gaze treks up towards the woman's awkwardly, not one too inclined to ask for help, "in case another one of those shows up... If it's not too much trouble to ask."
